You would think that with all that money they have available to them (Almost a billion and counting.Thank you Supremes.) the news network for dummies would come up with a better ad. for attacking his Oness. We are used to FOX making up stuff to suit their narrative, but actually putting fake footage in an ad is over the top for an organization that styles itself as a legitimate news network. (Stop laughing. They really do think that they are legitimate)

Update:

"Fox News’ Executive Vice President of Programming, Bill Shine, tells Yahoo News, “The package that aired on ‘Fox & Friends’ was created by an associate producer and was not authorized at the senior executive level of the network.”

Stay classy winnguts; blame the "associate producer". The GOP already got their $100,000 worth of air time free of charge.

Someone needs to tell Flipper that if he plans to become president of the United States, it would help to learn how to spell A-m-e-r-i-c-a.

And I know, I know, as someone who likes to make up my own words and butcher the spelling of various words from time to time, I have no room to talk. But hey, I am not running for president of these divided states, and I am not paid a ton money to help run and coordinate a presidential campaign.

Finally, I am glad that the AG took my advice and is all over this attack on our right to vote here in America.

"WASHINGTON -- Attorney General Eric Holder told African-American clergy leaders Wednesday that a wave of new state laws on voting and legal challenges to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 may jeopardize rights they helped fight for in the civil rights era.

"Despite our nation's long tradition of extending voting rights ... a growing number of our fellow citizens are worried about the same disparities, divisions and problems that - nearly five decades ago - so many fought to address," Holder told a meeting of the Conference of National Black Churches convened by the Congressional Black Caucus to discuss the laws.

"In my travels across the country, I've heard a consistent drumbeat of concern from citizens, who - often for the first time in their lives - now have reason to believe that we are failing to live up to one of our nation's most noble ideals. And some of the achievements that defined the civil rights movement now hang in the balance."

Holder spoke in response to an array of new voting measures enacted by several mostly Republican state governments that proponents say are needed to protect against voter fraud and to prevent illegal immigrants from voting. However, the mostly Democratic black caucus - along with several civil rights, voting rights and civil liberties groups - contends that the laws are really efforts to suppress the votes of minorities and others.

Since last year, at least 15 states have passed laws that include requiring people to show government-approved photo identification or proof of citizenship before they register or vote. Other changes that states have adopted or some legislatures are considering include restricting voter-registration efforts by third-party groups, such as the League of Women Voters and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; curtailing or eliminating early voting; doing away with same-day voter registration; and rescinding the voting rights of convicted felons who have served their time.

A study last year by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University says the changes could restrict voting access to 5 million people, most of them minorities, elderly or poor. The NAACP estimates that about 25 percent of African-Americans don't possess the proper documentation to meet ID requirements in some states; the figure is 11 percent for the overall population."

Now I need all of you Negroes to get off your butts and start paying attention to what is happening in your country. People died so that you all could have the rights that you enjoy, now they are being chipped away by back room deals and greedy and unscrupulous poli-tricksters. Wake the f*&k up!

And for the record, some of you house Negroes who choose to side with these people ---who would take away the hard fought rights of your people---- are no better than the lone sell out who gave up Denmark Vesey 190 years ago today.

FIELD, PREACH IT! Amen, amen, and amen again.

Standing up and waving church hankie<---granny.

Hmmmm...verification word is 1868.

In 1868, the 14th amendment granted full U.S. citizenship to African-Americans.

Could you please explain to me exactly how 1 in four blacks do not have any form of ID in this day and age and what is wrong with protecting the value and integrity of our voting process by ensuring illegal aliens/non citizens do not vote? I hear and see a lot of typical moonbat gloom and doom and estimated numbers...Would love to hear one case. If they are really, really poor, I am sure they are one of the 50% of Americans on social assistance or getting some type of government benefits so therefore DO have an ID. Show me one example, just one or lets put this typical democratic bullshit to bed. Everything is melodramatic bullshit. Never facts, never reality. They want to keep illegals from voting, the question shouldnt be why do they want to do this, the question should be why the hell DO YOU NOT want this done?

Now, please show me an example of a Black person who is so incompetent they cannot live in a civilized society, have no ID or way to make it in this country, get no benefits, live off the grid and don't have any black charities that could help, including the government sponsored programs to pay and transport anyone who may not have an ID. Show me one, just one.

Excellent.

If anyone does not have the wherewithal to obtain a proper identification card, then by no means do I want them voting.

Universal suffrage eventually destroys every democracy. Look at America's downward spiral as the right to vote was extended to anyone who can breathe. Now the democrats have Eric Holder working to ensure the right to vote for people who can't breathe.

Cop 'Friends' Members On Social Networking Giant's Site, Leading To 14 Arrests

May 30, 2012

(CBSNewYork) – Fourteen suspected members of a Crown Heights gang dubbed the “Brower Boys” have been indicted in connection with a year-long crime spree after talking about their alleged exploits on Facebook, authorities said Wednesday.

The suspects, who range in age from 15 to 19, climbed fire escapes and jumped rooftops to gain access to victims’ apartments from April 2011 to March 2012, according to Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes.

“These Brower bums terrorized their neighborhood for one long year, but now their cycle of crime is over,” Hynes said.

Hynes told CBS 2′s John Slattery the gang began with just burglaries, but added “the Brower Boys became increasingly brazen in their criminal activity.”

Named for nearby Brower Park in Crown Heights, the gang resorted to gunfire and robbery, the district attorney said. Suspect Terry Walley allegedly tangled with a resident he allegedly shot and wounded.

Four other suspects, Christopher Scott, Derrin Dyson, Dezhaun Samuels, and a 13-year-old, allegedly tied up victims in an apartment.

“It is alleged all four sexually assaulted the female victim while still tied behind her back,” Hynes said.

Police said it was Dyson and Olurabu Henry who were caught on camera hauling out laptops, cell phones and other stuff to sell.

The 102-count indictment alleges that the suspects stole electronics which they would later pawn.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said an officer from the 77th Precinct was able to track the suspects on social networking sites.

“He was able to get up on Facebook and ‘friend’ the members of the Brower gang to such an extent that he was able to track their next move,” Kelly said.

Officer Michael Rodriguez said the suspects would get bolder in what they wrote, like the videotaped crime.

“In that instance, they were boasting about making money,” Officer Rodriguez said.

Investigators also made video recordings of some of the suspects climbing in and out of apartment windows, up and down fire escapes and running across rooftops, authorities said. The suspects are charged in connection with more than 20 break-ins.

Residents around Brower Park applauded the take-down.

“Well, I’m glad they broke the ring,” one person said.

“If they arrested 14, they know what they’re doing,” another added.

The police commissioner said with social media it becomes a cat-and-mouse game, with some thieves forming codes in hopes of throwing police off their track.

Many older black people do not have ID's because they were not born in hospitals during segregation and were delivered by midwives. They do not have a birth certificates which is a requirement to get an ID.

Poor people can barely buy toilet paper. Birth certificates and IDs are very expensive to them. Evidently, you must think that poverty is living large, but it's not.

Odd that wite boys can only thinkerate that the entire Universe is 'just like' their all-pale enclaves of righteous befuddlement.As an older person, I can attest to many of my acquaintance who had no need of a license or other ID card. They paid cash for everything...and were well known to the community. Unlike wingnuts, their word was their bond.They voted for Presidents before the ascension of st reagan. For all your pretense to being from the 'RealMerica'..you-all are certainly bereft of personal knowledge of such places.

Must be the policies need the disenfranchising of multitudes to have them enacted...which makes one wonder about the efficacy, fairness and rationale for said policies.

Disenfranchising millions for a handful of voter abuses is an obscenity. In Georgia, where I live, the only voter fraud that has been shown to exist is in absentee balloting, which the legislature did NOT address because more Republicans vote that way than Democrats, thereby disproving their entire premise. These voter suppression laws are a transparent, cynical, anti-Americanway to strip our citizens, especially the poor, the elderly, and the handicapped, of their inalienable rights. What I find most despicable is that it is the same right-wing hypocrites who sent American men and women to fight and die for Iraqis' right to vote who are trying to strip that right from Americans here at home.

In alllll reality, when "white" people talk about "America"/"Americans", first and foremost, it ain't got nuttin' to do with the "Negro". It's neither their country nor ours, but they stole it for THEMSELVES and THEMSELVES only. They stole Africans to BUILD IT and to fornicate with at their discretion. Africans in America are country-less. Now that's the truth!!

i was just thinking of the passing of an old vet. and his wife this memorial day.you see granny lying her ass off, they were killed by feral nigroes, she was 85 when feral nigroes raped and beat her to death while her husban who jumped into normandy on d-day died later from TNB.come on wane and grannylyingherassoff nothing to say about TNB or do you think the crackers asked for it?

Tuesday’s (May 29) New York Times published a massive page-one feature article by Jo Becker and Scott Shane, that demonstrated just how inadvertently prescient was this moniker. This was not an adversarial, leaked newspaper scoop. The article had all the signs of cooperation by the three dozen, interviewed current and former advisers to President Obama and his administration. The reporters wrote that a weekly role of the president is to personally select and order a “kill list” of suspected terrorists or militants via drone strikes or other means. The reporters wrote that this personal role of Obama’s is “without precedent in presidential history.” Adversaries are pulling him into more and more countries – Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and other territories.

The drones have killed civilians, families with small children, and even allied soldiers in this undeclared war based on secret “facts” and grudges (getting even). These attacks are justified by secret legal memos claiming that the president, without any Congressional authorization, can without any limitations other that his say-so, target far and wide assassinations of any “suspected terrorist,” including American citizens.

The bombings by Mr. Obama, as secret prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner, trample proper constitutional authority, separation of powers, and checks and balances and constitute repeated impeachable offenses. That is, if a pathetic Congress ever decided to uphold its constitutional responsibility, including and beyond Article I, section 8’s war-declaring powers.

From the perspective of Obama’s handlers, the piece reconciles the old, imagined Obama with Dick Cheney’s “dark side,” thus forming a composite leadership template of the president as an “all-American” statesman. Obama is just as capable of carrying out instant executions as Cheney ever was – the decision to take out American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki was “an easy one” – but he keeps a “priest” nearby to be sure he’s on the side of the angels. Cheney with a halo – singing Al Green.

In a sense, the Times-assisted makeover of Obama provides a ten-year update on his speech of October 2, 2002: “I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars." It took his wishful anti-war supporters more than a decade to figure out this was just another way of saying, “I’ll be the smartest, most prolific, charming war monger in U.S. history. Watch me.”

Today’s Obama, as packaged by the Times, is not opposed to wholesale drone murder from the skies, routine trampling of international law, and evisceration of the U.S. Bill of Rights. Rather, he has “reserved to himself the final moral calculation.” The difference between his “dark side” and Cheney’s, presumably, is that Obama engages in deeper moral introspection before turning out the lights.

"I can attest to many of my acquaintance who had no need of a license or other ID card. They paid cash for everything...and were well known to the community. Unlike wingnuts, their word was their bond."--------------

That kind of negro is no more.

Now they don't pay for anything and their bailsman is their bond.

The ID requirement is made necessary by massive democrat voter fraud. If you are too poor or confused to be able to negotiate the incredibly simple and easy process to get an ID, you have no business voting anyway.

It saddens me that Field acts as if the best thing for Black People is Obama. I think we can just call you " House" for short instead of Field.-------------------------------It's not only Field, it's Granny, Mack Lyons, and PilotX too.

Some of you Negroes need to get your butts off the couch and look at what the Obama Administration has done for you: high unemployment and going higher- if he is elected; education is terrible for Blacks; Wars in the middleeast; condescending attitude toward Blacks; ignores the entire Black race; the poor is suffering mightily; the Republicans have had their way with Obama which is a detriment to Blacks; the economy is weak and looks like it is getting weaker; NO JOBS.

"The GOP electorate aren't there FOR you, they're there to TAKE you and all you have. If you think for one milisecond that they have YOUR best interests at heart, you have very much to learn."--------

No one has YOUR best interests at heart but you, and maybe your momma.

If your best interests include a growing economy, being employed, maintaining your personal liberties, and keeping America a first world nation, then you should vote Republican.

Take a good look at black communities that have been run under Democrat governments for the past 50 years and tell me that THEY have YOUR best interests at heart.

Anyone who tells you that they will GIVE you to what others will TAKE is lying to you as he ties you up. The handouts you will get will always be less than what they took from you. Stop trusting in other people to do what only saints do. No one else ever puts YOUR best interests ahead of THEIR own.

Hey Field glad you mentioned this. This legislation is definitely aimed at poorer folks and immigrants. And its done also to suppress any future traction that a populist third party that really represents the people, would have.

They know they wont be able to fool us forever with this fake two party system. Eventually we will all have to admit that neither one of them (yes even the beloved Obama) doesn't really represent the every day persons issues.

Wow, since the Zimmerman defense team has now added super-attorney Don West to the team, I guess it's time now to not only personally donate again but time to help organize a money bomb for GZ!Let justice prevail!

"Farley, with all sincerity, what does the Democrats do for you? You say the GOP is there only to take from you, what do they take from you and what do the democrats give you?"

The republican and democratic parties of today are totally different than they were 60 years ago. It was progressives that brought about the middle class and the ability for people in this country to be treated fairly and have the ability to climb the ladder. Conservatives fought it tooth and nail.

As soon as Reagan blew his dog whistle in MS, the conservatives in the democratic party high tailed it to the republican party and vice versa. Now the republican party is all about getting the wealthy more wealthy and nothing else. They're shameless.

So, even now, the democratic party are the progressives, not regressives. You can see it daily as the regressives (republicans) are on the attack on everything that keeps us free, our civil liberties. Meanwhile Rome burns. How on earth is that leadership? How does that help any damn one at all?

"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)" ~Philebrity~

"One of the most precocious and hilarious Black political minds on the net. Ive been a long-time fan!" ~Asad Malik~

"..While most of what he writes is tongue-in-cheek, his space is a safe house for candid discussions about race, especially in the comments section, where people of all colors meet."~~Daniel Rubin, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"~~

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

~~Richard Fausset, "L.A. Times"~~~

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

FIELD NEGRO OF THE DAY.

(Magic) MAKING 100 MILLION DOLLARS AVAILABLE IN LOANS TO SMALL MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES DURING THIS CRISIS IS FNB.

"Half a century after Little Rock, the Montgomery bus boycott and the tumultuous dawn of the modern civil rights era, the new face of the movement is Facebook, MySpace and some 150 black blogs united in an Internet alliance they call theAfroSpear.

Older, familiar leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, are under challenge by a younger generation of bloggers known by such provocative screen names as Field Negro, thefreeslaveand African American Political Pundit. And many of the newest struggles are being waged online."~Howard Witt-The Chicago Tribune~

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together." ~Chicago Tribune Reporter, Howard Witt~
